HiJaak (DOS and Windows) can convert a number of PC image formats into an Amiga IFF. I don't know that it supports Powerpoint directly, but if Powerpoint can output to different PC file formats, I expect you'll find a combination that works. A bug in HiJaack's IFF filter prevents a successful conversion from a metafile — workaround is to first convert to any PC bitmap format, then convert _that_ to IFF.

Paul, Tricky, mainly because Powerpoint has lousy export options ! Best bet may be to print to a file, I have a printer driver on my PC called "Matrix" maybe you have something similar. Should be able to take this file into the Amiga via CrossDOS and use ADPro to adjust the resolution to suit your Toaster. All this is pure speculation of course <g> Good luck, Steve

Paul, <I am looking to convert several images made with Powerpoint on my PC clone into IFF files for use in the Video Toaster. Any ideas?> Depending on what format they're saved in (I'm not familiar with Powerpoint) you could use ImageFX, Adpro, Photogenics, all commercial, or Rend24, Superview (I think) and maybe a couple of others that are PD or Shareware. My personal favorite is ImageFX as it supports quite a few of the most common formats, but Photogenics is quite nice also. Unfortunately I've not tried any of the Pd/Shareware options. Good luck!
